The heavy-handed Gonzaga picked up the pace in the third and his upset-minded opponent responded in a positive fashion. Both fighters exchanged freely in the fourth and final round, neither was hurt during the contest, and Gonzaga was awarded a win by four-round majority decision.
“I thought I’d be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym,” Gonzaga said. “I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! ce soir”

Un nouveau chapitre de boxe pour l'ancien challenger au titre des poids lourds de l'UFC, Gabriel “Il a attaqué” Gonzague

Laisser un commentaire
Octobre 28 à Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Masse. (Octobre 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Il a attaqué” Gonzague starts October 28e when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” carte, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre”, to be held at the DCU Center (Salle d'exposition) à Worcester, Massachusetts.
“L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 4” est présenté par Rivera Promotions Entertainment (À propos de nous), qui est détenue et exploitée par trois retraités, double champion du monde de division Jose Antonio Rivera et son fils, Antoine (A.J.) Rivera.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (MA). An imposing physical fighter, la 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 KOs, 9 SUBs, 1 Décembre), détient 4e degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, Royaume-Uni, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Cop with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
Gonzague, who retired from MMA 1 Il y a ½ ans, also defeated Ben Rothwell, Shawn Jordan et Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – Rocky Gonzalez & Gabriel Gonzaga
Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, who also has a pro MMA background.
“I like challenges in my life,” Gonzaga explained why he’s making his pro debut. “I set new goals because I like to be competitive in sports. I have a good boxing coach who told me I should try. I was a BJJ (Jiu-Jitsu brésilien) world champion and UFC title contender. I have good boxing skills and plan to put on a good show. I do have one-punch power and hit hard.
“I started boxing in 2001 and worked at it every day for two years to learn, but then I was competing in MMA. Maintenant, I’m focused on boxing. I think boxing is the hardest part of MMA. I know you can’t make mistakes in boxing and there’s no time to relax. En MMA, I could relax a little at times in clinches, but the referee won’t allow that in boxing. I’ll probably fight more than once but not too many because of my age and I’m not really at the high-level of boxing like I was in MMA.”
Gonzaga’s head boxing trainer, Rocky Gonzalez, has been working with several MMA fighters, including Gonzaga, for more than a decade to help them improve their striking skills. Gonzalez freely admits that Gonzaga knew how to box before he started working with him, crediting Gonzaga’s Muay Thai coach, and that boxing came naturally to the big Brazilian who has made an easy adjustment from the Octagon to the ring. Gonzalez also feels that leg positioning differences for MMA fighters switching to boxing, in terms of throwing proper punches, is somewhat overrated.
“dans la boxe,” Gonzalez dit, “fighters need their hands like their legs and elbows in MMA. Distance and timing is more important than where their legs and feet are positioned. Gabriel doesn’t like sparring with headgear, si, his sparring is more like real fighting. He’s been hot with some real shots but he’s responded well. He’s always going to have a puncher’s chance and he’s deceptive because he doesn’t look as fast as he is.
“We didn’t really plan anything but he got this good opportunity. He’s always wanted to turn pro as a boxer and go from there. Gabriel is a good listener who keeps working hard to get better. When he first brought up boxing, he was contracted by the UFC, but we started talking about him boxing after the UFC released him. He knew Jose from him teaching boxing. Gabriel isn’t doing this for the money. He’s a competitive guy who wanted to try boxing.”
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion, Vinnie “Cauchemar américain” histoire (16-1-1, 15 KOs), combats hors de Pembroke (MA), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Saul “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 KOs) en cas de huit tour.

Vinnie “Cauchemar américain” Carita boxes in his own unique way

Laisser un commentaire
Octobre 28 à Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Masse. (Octobre 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” histoire is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28e “New England Future 4” carte, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre”, to be held at the DCU Center (Salle d'exposition) à Worcester, Massachusetts.
“L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 4” est présenté par Rivera Promotions Entertainment (À propos de nous), qui est détenue et exploitée par trois retraités, double champion du monde de division Jose Antonio Rivera et son fils, Antoine (A.J.) Rivera.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Samedi, October 28th au Centre DCU,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “He is a perfect example of why my son, A.J., and I started RPE. We want to be able to help boxers grow their careers and create a platform for them to get bigger and better opportunities.”
A former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion,histoire (16-1-1, 15 KOs) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Saul “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 KOs) en cas de huit tour.
histoire, combats hors de Pembroke (MA), will move up in weight once again to fight another foreign opponent. In the world of boxing, not only does Carita fight, he’s his own promoter, directeur, trainer and matchmaker. En dehors de l'anneau, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (MA), as well as a part-time security contractor for the Department of Defense (DOD).
Although his incredibly busy schedule leaves little, if any, downtown to relax, Carita thrives because he’s so dedicated, disciplined and driven. He starts each day at 4 a.m., running or doing cardio exercising, works his day job, and hits the gym to train between 9-10 p.m. on a regular basis for a scheduled fight. When he’s had some free time to travel, Vinne has gone to New York, Philadelphia and even Montreal for quality sparring.
He started boxing at seven, when he first walked into a gym, and captured a Southeast Regionals Golden Glove title but, à 14, only boxed sporadically, until he turned pro at 20. “I definitely have a passion for boxing,” the 32-year-old confessed. “I’m a boxing fanatic. If I’m not training, I’m watching fights, live or on television. It’s my love. Boxing will always be part of me and when I finally hang up my gloves, I want to be a referee, so I can still be in the ring, and have the best seat. Je ne veux pas juger. Bigger guys last longer than smaller fighters. I want to continue doing this until by late thirties, maybe early forties.
“I fell in love with the cruiserweight division when I saw the (Vassily) Jirov-(Jacques) Toney lutte (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Oleksandr) Usyk could win the tournament, unifying all four major belts, and then move up to heavyweight. That could be good for me if I was one of the eight fighting for one of the four vacant (major) titres. I’ll look for the right fights until then, against guys who’ve been around and maybe competed for world or regional titles, like my next opponent (Faraff), who is the WBC Latino heavyweight champion.”
histoire, who occasionally is forced to fight as a heavyweight as he will against Faraff, will still weigh in around 200-205 livres. He walks around at 208 and usually weighs in at 194-196 for his cruiserweight fights. “I have no plans to compete as a heavyweight,” il dit. “I’ve fought some heavyweights and it looks better for me to go the distance, or stop, guys much bigger than me. I try and pick the right guys to advance my career.”
Why has Carita fought so many opponents from countries all over the world? Networking. His job with the DOD, before he started working as a court officer, found him traveling around the world. Wherever he went – Afrique du Sud, Dubai, Irlande du Nord, etc. – he worked out at boxing gyms and made invaluable connections, establishing working relationships with many managers and matchmakers who he’s remained in contact with throughout his pro boxing career.
Because he trains himself, Carita only has one regular person working his corner, Pittsfield (MA) court officer John Felix, who he first met when they were drill instructors at the academy. Carita adds a cut-man for his fight but he tends to keep things lean and mean, even in his corner.
Nobody knows better or appreciates more what promoter Jose Antonio Rivera accomplished when he was world champion working full-time as a court officer in Worcester.
“To work full-time, raise children, train to be a world-class fighter and become world champion three times speaks volumes about Jose,” Carita commented. “Maintenant, he’s promoting and putting guys like me on his shows.”
“I understand perfectly how hard and demanding his schedule is working a fulltime job as a court officer and training to try to achieve his goals of fighting for and winning world championship,” Rivera a ajouté. “I am glad Vinnie has chosen to give RPE an opportunity to be able to help him get closer to achieving his dream.”
Dans le cas de co-vedette, Hartford’s (CT) popular Richard “Popeye le marin” Rivera (3-0, 2 KOs) répond Hansen Castillo (0-2) in the four-round bout to be contested at a 180-pounds catch-weight.
Le “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 4” undercard features many of the best and most popular N.E. combattants, unbeaten East Hartford (CT) welterweight and 2016 n.s.. Golden Gloves champion, Anthony Laureano (5-0, 3 KOs), who meets welterweight Clifton Rashad Thames (3-2-1), d'Oklahoma City, dans un combat de six rondes.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Il a attaqué” Gonzague makes his pro boxing debut in a four-round bout versus Washington D.C. poids lourd Alando Pugh (1-10-1, 1 KO).
Other undercard fights, all four-rounders, include two-time national champion and hometown favorite, Policier “BH3” Harris III (1-0), vs. Troy “Omar KO Artiste” artiste (3-7-1, 2 KOs), 2014 n.s..

CITATIONS DE PRESSE DE LA CONFÉRENCE
Vinnie Carita: “j'ai vu le dernier (À propos de nous) spectacle et c'était super. Je suis content d'être dans cette émission. C'est un grand spectacle avec beaucoup de talents de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Il va y avoir un feu d'artifice!”
Matt Rémillard: “Je étais à (RPE) dernier combat et il s'est vendu. C'est génial. Ils améliorent la boxe, pas seulement à Worcester, mais dans toute la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Avril 1, 2005, je suis devenu pro. Je n'ai jamais combattu à Worcester avant. C'est une super ambiance. Cela a été long à venir, six ans je vais le punir pour. Il ne tiendra pas la distance, je peux promettre que. Il ne se reconnaîtra pas après le combat. Après que je l'ai renversé, J'espère qu'il se relèvera car je veux le punir. Ceci n'est pas un jeu. Je suis dans le business blessé.”
Augustin Mauras: “Je remercie vraiment Matt Remillard d'avoir combattu quelqu'un comme moi. Je ne suis pas un cookie facile. Il va être dans le combat le plus dur de sa vie. je vais te mettre (Rémillard) sur son cul. Je suis ici pour combattre cet homme! Ça va être un sacré combat.”
Jose Antonio Rivera, PDG/promoteur: “J'apprécie le soutien que nous avons reçu pour notre dernier spectacle et nous sommes impatients de réserver notre prochain spectacle en juin. Je ne peux vraiment rien dire à ce sujet, encore. Je tiens à remercier nos sponsors. Mes racines sont ici à Worcester et c'est pourquoi tant de combattants de cette émission viennent d'ici. Nous ne signons pas de combattants, leur donnant juste une plate-forme pour se battre. Nous sommes heureux, maintenant, aider à leur fournir une plate-forme pour passer à des choses plus grandes et meilleures. Rivera Promotions Entertainment espère déplacer les combattants et leur permettre de montrer leurs compétences. Nous sommes très heureux de ce spectacle. Rémillard contre Mauras vaut à lui seul le prix d'entrée.”
Anthony Rivera, Président/entremetteur: “Nous nous sommes beaucoup amusés jusqu'à présent. Nous sommes fiers de ramener la boxe en Nouvelle-Angleterre. Il y a beaucoup de grands combattants sur notre avril 1st carte avec les meilleurs prospects, anciens champions des gants d'or, les meilleurs combattants comme Matt Remillard et les futurs champions du monde. Tous ces gars ont pris les adversaires qu'on leur proposait, pas de cueillette, et cela montre quel genre de combattants ils sont vraiment. Nous avons 13 se bat et ne cligne des yeux pendant aucun d'entre eux.”
Bryan Daniels: “Je suis un étudiant de la boxe de Worcester et Jose Rivera était le combattant le plus établi. Il est parti de rien pour devenir champion du monde. Jamais dans un million d'années je n'ai pensé que je me battrais sur sa carte. je suis humble. J'espérais avoir un adversaire avec de l'expérience pour tirer le meilleur de moi. Ce sera la première fois que je combattrai à Worcester pour montrer mes compétences. Je suis originaire de l'Illinois mais Worcester a beaucoup à offrir, y compris Rivera Promotions Entertaining nous donnant une plate-forme.”
Anthony Laureano: “Je suis très reconnaissant de me battre sur une autre carte Rivera Promotions Entertainment. Ils ont fait un travail formidable lors du dernier spectacle et je suis reconnaissant de me battre à nouveau sur leur carte. Ce sera un gros test. Rivera Promotions m'a donné une plate-forme pour être signé par Star Boxing. Jose Rivera était un combattant et il sait ce dont nous avons besoin.”
Andino Ranse: “J'ai un travail à temps plein, aller à la gym, et prends soin de mon fils. Je tiens à remercier Rivera Promotions Entertainment de m'avoir permis de me battre. Je veux aussi remercier Carlos Garcia, c'est l'homme! Jose est mon idole depuis que je suis entré dans la salle de gym.”
Neal Sullivan: “J'ai grandi avec AJ et Jose a toujours été bon avec moi. Je ne me battrais pas si je ne leur faisais pas confiance. Ils recherchent des combattants. Je suis un étudiant du jeu et je connais l'histoire de la boxe de Worcester. J'ai hâte de l'apporter Avril 1st.”
Derrick Whitley: “Mon père était un boxeur professionnel et j'ai fait de la boxe toute ma vie en le regardant. Ce est mon temps, le début de mon voyage.”
Louis-Santiago: “Je tiens à remercier Rivera Promotions Entertainment pour cette opportunité. Je suis prêt depuis le dernier spectacle (son adversaire a échoué à l'examen médical d'avant-combat) et n'ont pas cessé de travailler. Avril 1st sera le début de ma carrière pro. Ça va être un grand spectacle et je vais finir avec une victoire.”
